Business Trends Driving the Focus on ROI
•Failures of previous IT investments to produce expected returns
•Focus on Cost Containment/Reduction
•Greater involvement of business managers in technology decisions
•IT now accounts for 46% of all capital expenditures
•Continued struggles of the global economy keep IT spending tight
•Re-introduction of back to basics methodologies for capital investments

Feedback from the CIO
•Infrastructure investments need to payback in 18-24 months
•Strategic business benefits are still important, but priority is given to projects that reduce costs
•If business case is built on soft business benefits, CIO will heavily discount their impact (50-60%)
•Analysis needs to be based upon our internal data, not industry averages or other companies numbers
•Keep in mind that I’m competing with other business managers for scarce resources
•Need to identify ways to get more from less, by leveraging existing technology investments

5 Simple Steps to an ROI Analysis
1. Clearly understand the value proposition of the solution and focus on the primary cost/benefit drivers
2. Validate these benefits through 3rd-party sources and client case studies
3. Break the analysis into manageable pieces, don’t try to do it all at once (ex. site segmentation)
4. Use a financial model that properly allocates the costs/benefits over the term of the analysis and applies fundamental financial principles
5. Run multiple what-if scenarios to determine range of potential outcomes (sensitivity analysis)
© 2002, Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 9996426_10_2002_c1_Kisch
Obstacles to a Simple and Successful ROI Analysis
•Inadequate documentation of costs
•Difficulty determining value of tangible/intangible benefits
•Failure to set the appropriate scope
•Getting buy-in across the organization
•Too much reliance on one financial metric (TCO/Payback/NPV) and one potential outcome
•Lack of formal ROI process/methodology
•Internal politics

Key Drivers of Negative ROI
• In some cases, a significant data network upgrade is necessary to provide the foundation for reliable voice
• Difficult to justify on hard cost savings alone the replacement of a relatively new PBX at a single site
• Delays in the deployment of the technology delay the realization of benefits
• Failure to take advantage of key value producing features of the technology
• Aggressive pricing from traditional PBX vendors
